That gross practice of making you enter a code for a new game before you could play online: EA says that they're killing it for all future releases.

It's Even More Deathstroke Vs. The Dark Knight In The 'Batman: Arkham Origins' Teaser Trailer
Posted 5/16/13 12:20 pm EST by Charles Webb in News, PC, PS3, Video, Wii U, Xbox 360
They're really pushing the Slade/Batman conflict pretty hard with the marketing of "Arkham Origins," this October's prequel to Warner Brother's pair of "Arkham" games. Even if the initial announcement out of the publisher was that Black Mask would be the main heavy, one-eyed super assassin Deathstroke has been the one featured most prominently up to this point.
Which is weird, because he's better known for spending his time trying to murder the Teen Titans.

'The Bureau: XCOM Declassified' Preview -- I Want To Believe
Posted 5/13/13 3:14 pm EST by Clint Mize in Previews, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360, XCOM
Hey, remember when 2K Marin announced a new XCOM game way back in 2010 and everyone got super excited about defending Earth against a new alien threat via a three-quater tactical view? Remember how when they said it would be a first person shooter instead and all those excited fans got really upset that it had been "dumbed down" for the masses of COD kiddies? What we saw during that 2010 E3 was a mixed bag for some and for most accounts 2K Marin has been mum about any details -- so much so that fans got tossed a quick but really fantastic (seriously it was our GOTY for 2012) franchise entry as "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" to keep some of the hardcore fans satiated. Well, a lot can change in three years and what may have been another mediocre shooter clone got altered into a tactical third person shooter blending elements from "XCOM: EU" and "Mass Effect" set during the Cold War.
We got a taste of what "The Bureau" would be a few weeks ago with this haunting live action trailer and last week I got a hands-on demo of what to expect come this summer.

This weekend, as we prepare to honor our wonderful mothers and mother figures, let's not forget the unsung Father-Mothers out there doing the good work of raising odd babies in a hellish wasteland. The hermaphroditic bird creature from "Zeno Clash" may not have necessarily given birth to Ghat and the rest of its misshapen brood, but it did "love" them after a fashion.
So if you have a Father-Mother in your life, be sure to send he/she a box of chocolates or an odd bundle of sticks covered in pig hearts (they're impossible to buy for).

*Albeit one where Jimi still got to record one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

Indie Games Get A New Home On The PlayStation Store
Posted 5/7/13 4:50 pm EST by Don Hatfield in PS Vita, PS3
Some of the most enjoyable games of this generation didn't come from major AAA studios, but were instead developed by smaller, independent teams and delivered as digitally through the likes of Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. Now Sony is giving indie games a home all their own, with the introduction of the Indie Games section on the PlayStation Store.
